Once a child begins to crawl, their entire world changes. They want to go everywhere, with no concern for the dangers that lay beyond their baby blanket. Thus, every baby's home should be protected before that baby begins to crawl, toddle, and walk. One way this is done is through use of baby gates. No matter the size or layout of a home, toddler and baby gates are as important as covering electrical outlets and putting toxic chemicals out of reach.
These gates can be used to block off dangerous stairways, block off the kitchen while someone is cooking, contain the baby in a smaller living room, and even provide the baby a safe playing space outside. The safety gate for toddlers comes in a variety of sizes and styles, each perfect for any application. While you can find these at most baby care shops, they are usually quite a bit less expensive although every bit as safe, in shops such as Target for example.
For outside play you will find that the free standing, large plastic gates make excellent play pits. They can be put around a sand box, or simply on the grass or patio. In this way, baby can enjoy the fresh air, while the parents relax and read a magazine or take in a few rays of sunshine.
Indoor baby gates come in a variety of styles. Some are simply pressure mounted in a doorway or small opening, allowing easy removal when not needed. Others can be mounted more long term, using screws and anchors. Many of these include small pet doors, to keep the child contained, while allowing cats and small dogs freedom to move around. These are also perfect for blocking areas like pet food or cat litter.
Larger gates can reach up to 10 feet, allowing wide openings to be blocked off, keeping toddlers out of the kitchen, dining room, hallway, or foyer. Whatever the layout of the home, there is a perfect gate to keep toddlers safe and happily contained.
